Article The Army’s HDMS 551s1 Robot Will Be Used For Bomb Disposal Operations Image

Resquared’s new HDMS 551s1 robot, made for the Army, can easily perform delicate tasks the majority of other robots are not capable of carrying out.

While it is controlled by a human operator, the brunt of the work falls on the HDMS 551s1 robot, as it can open bags and unscrew bottles by utilizing its arms and high-tech motor system.

The robot comes equipped with two-fingered grippers attached to its arms for added dexterity.

Of course, an Army robot wasn’t created simply to open up bags of food and crack beers.

Nope. The HDMS 551s1 robot will be responsible for taking part in bomb disposal operations, an application in which being able to perform delicate tasks will certainly come in handy.

China’s World-First Plant Turns 5.56 Million Tons of Mine Waste Into Iron Every Year

China has started operating a groundbreaking industrial facility that could change how the world looks at mining waste. The plant in Anshan, Liaoning province, can process 5.56 million metric tons of difficult iron ore and mine tailings every year. Turning Mining Waste Into a Resource Mining produces huge amounts of leftover material after valuable minerals are separated from rock. Much of t

Inconel vs Titanium: Strength, Heat Resistance & Cost Compared

The Inconel vs titanium decision comes down to the part’s hardest requirement. Inconel protects strength in extreme heat and aggressive process conditions. Titanium carries structural loads at far less weight, with excellent corrosion resistance. Engineers and buyers should compare specific grades, product forms, heat treatments, and design allowables — not two broad material families. This gui

Metal Hardness Chart: Rockwell vs Brinell vs Vickers Explained

Hardness measures how well a metal resists permanent deformation. That is, how it holds up when something harder presses into its surface. Rockwell, Brinell, and Vickers are all indentation tests, and they work the same basic way. You push an indenter into the material under a controlled load, then measure what it leaves behind. What separates Rockwell, Brinell, and Vickers is indenter shape, appl
